I had pretty much the same experience with a La Gloria Cubana Serie N last night, I smoked it after a CAO La Traviata and the N by comparison was lacking in flavor. I know that I've enjoyed these from the same bundle in the past, not sure if it's a one time thing or what.

Got 5 years on it decided to light it up after faceplanting off the back deck Lol and seeing @Heavysetrapier smoke one of these the other day. I was expecting a strong flavorful cigar, rich with earth and nicotine, but instead it is very mild all around...seems like it picking up some but not the cigar I remembered from years ago. Maybe the muscle relaxers have something to due with it, something's up.
Might just be in the part of the aging phase where it actually loses some flavor too. Aging can be like that. If you've got some more, give them another 5 years and see how they're tasting. Some cigars just don't age as well as others.

Something's up with the Serie N, there not like I used to remember them, flavor was gone. I do have a 5er of them from 2 years ago, hope their not bunk to.

@Markwell, 5 years on that particular cigar shouldn't have lost that much flavor, not saying it can't happen though. Will see how the others with less age on them turn out.

From the @TNBigfoot68 pass, barely let it rest from traveling. Very good! Might have to get some and see what a little aging does. Thanks to whoever put this in the pass!
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.
Los Hermanos box pressed maduro robusto from @peter4jc. Just finished chopping up some ghost pepper (thanks @WaterNerd for the seeds) for tonight's lamb/summer squash/green bean stir fry and had to try a chunk to see how much to put into the dish, so giving a review of this stick probably isn't a good idea, I taste red pepper though....

Your very welcome, and I'm glad @Yakster Enjoyed his too. I don't really care for them and I bought a whole jar of 20......its that C.A.S. thingy. I thought they needed a little rest myself. I found them a little harsh.

This was fantastic. I wish I could find more of the originals. Thank you!

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
